Transmute, acrylic on canvas, both 50 x 50cm, 2013 My plan for the next family of paintings included deep layers with damaged top surfaces. Transmute was not part of the plan, but came from working toward it. Whilst making the base I really enjoyed the paint and brush strokes and given the hard week it was, let myself do just that. Looking at the resulting painting made me laugh and know it was complete. Transmute detail
